2019 integrated resource plan (irp) public input meeting april … · next steps analysis 3 •...
TRANSCRIPT
Summary
2
• Updated coal-retirement cases account for incremental resource costs to address reliability issues identified and discussed at the December 2018 public-input meeting.
• The updated analysis shows there are potential customer benefits from accelerating the retirement of certain coal units—the greatest customer benefits are associated with an accelerated retirement of certain units at the Naughton and Jim Bridger power plants.
• The results of these studies do not reflect a final least-cost, least-risk plan.
• Additional resource portfolio analysis will be completed in the coming months before PacifiCorp finalizes the 2019 IRP, which it plans to file with state commissions by August 1, 2019.
Next Steps Analysis
3
• Additional analysis necessary to establish a preferred portfolio will include, but not limited to:
• Alternative operational scenarios for existing coal units (i.e., gas conversion, reduced operating minimums, and seasonal operations).
• Assessment of implementation and resource adequacy risk, employee and community transitions (i.e. staging of potential early coal retirements).
• Risk assessment of near-term replacement resources.
• Energy Gateway transmission cases.
• Assessment of expected schedules to implement a request-for-proposals process consistent with new legislation in Wyoming and potential interactions with state-driven new resource procurement rules.
• Regional haze compliance alternatives.
• Market price and CO2 policy scenario risk assessment (price-policy scenarios).

Incremental Capacity from Deterministic Analyses
36
• Hourly, deterministic reliability assessment for 2023, 2030, and 2038 for each case.
• Deterministic studies reflect “perfect foresight” for the following assumptions:
• Normal load (1-in-2 exceedance)
• Average thermal outages in all hours
• Average hydro conditions
• Fixed variable energy resource generation profiles, and
• Average market prices without electric or natural gas price volatility and physical supply risks
• Additional flexible capacity is required beyond the capacity needed to “cure” hourly shortfalls to reliably serve customers considering that the above factors vary from day to day and hour to hour and are not known in advance.
Variable Energy Resource Uncertainty
37
• Variable energy resources are modeled with fixed hourly generation profiles and always produce as scheduled in the model, however, in reality, there is significant uncertainty on a day-ahead, hour-ahead and real-time basis.
• The estimated total day-ahead reserve requirement, including day-ahead uncertainty for load, wind, and solar, as a percentage of load:
• 2018 historical: carried average reserves amounting to 18% of load.
• 2023 forecast: will need average reserves at 19% of load.
• These values are higher than the current planning reserve margin.
• Short-term solutions:
• Larger firm market purchases.
• More thermal unit commitment and fuel nominations.
• Long-term solutions:
• Incremental flexible capacity additions.
Market Supply Uncertainty
38
Net Capacity Additions/Retirements, excluding Wind and Solar
Source: Energy Information Administration Form 860. 2015-2025.
Market Supply Uncertainty
39
• Potential PacifiCorp retirements are not included.
• Recent events have highlighted natural gas pipeline delivery risk.
• Additional flexible capacity is required to address this market supply uncertainty.
Source: Energy Information Administration Form 860.
Calculating the Capacity Need from Deterministic Analyses
40
• Portfolios must meet four hourly requirements: • Energy, non-spinning reserve, spinning reserve, and regulation reserve
• Separate requirements for East and West, but transfers allowed up to transmission limits.
• Shortfall or unused available capacity is calculated for each hour.• Maximum hourly shortfall (or minimum available) is identified by season.
• Given aforementioned risk factors, 500 MW of capacity in excess of hourly shortfalls identified in the deterministic studies was required.
• Allocated between East and West based on peak load by season:• Example 1: 200 MW required – 100 MW available = 100 MW incremental
• Example 2: 200 MW required + 50 MW shortfall = 250 MW incremental• Incremental requirements applied: 2023-2027 based on the 2023 deterministic
study, 2028-2036 based on the 2030 deterministic study, and 2037-2038 based on the 2038 deterministic study.
• The SO model adds or accelerates the following resource types relative to the pre-reliability portfolio to meet East and West incremental requirements:
• Batteries, Energy Efficiency, Gas Peakers, Pumped Storage• Other resource types are locked at levels in pre-reliability portfolio.
